Yeah. You should have replied there.
Rather than start another new thread.

Mike I have done all that, even downloaded and am using Quotefix.
I can't solve all this I don't know how to!
Thanks for the help, it IS appreciated, but it's time to quit. I'm in a rare old tizz here.
Raine.

No Mike it isn't the answer to all my problems, but you're telling me how to do something I've done over and over again, I just re-checked those settings, they're EXACTLY as you said they should be. I'm in deep water, I can't solve the unsolvable, sorry.

You are obviously doing *something* wrong. You can't be the
only person that has this problem - unless your name is Magrat/
Cassandra. You can clearly see that your lines are NOT wrapping
at 72 characters, which makes a long thread become almost
unreadable.

Can I point something out here, please?
I really don't understand a thing about *wrapping text*, so I can only follow your instructions as you advise me too. You told me how to change the setting, so I did, but still it's wrong. I agree something is amiss, but I haven't a clue what, or even how to put it right.
I really wish I did!
Perhaps I should take up knitting, at least there if I make a mistake I can always put it right. ;o)

Wrapping text is where your software places a hard [RETURN]
when you type without entering one yourself. Your settings,
as you can see, are NOT automatically wrapping the text, but
allowing it to run on. This is both untidy, and hard to read in
quoted text - and I, for one, have little patience for difficult
to read posts. I have seen (many) other O.E. users with the
same problem, but I have never seen one where the OP says
they have changed the settings, but they don't work.

Raine,
If you're still using Quotefix, you *must* ensure that the wrap is set
to the same value that you've set in IE.

ie Right click the ie icon, in the tray.
Left click "Show Dialog"
Set the "Wrap at column" value
Left click "Hide", to close the dialog box.

Try repairing OE through add/remove programs and double clicking

You're welcome.
I do hope you get the word wrap fixed. I have no problem "seeing" it
because my reader wraps faulty word wraps. I had to undo my setting
so see what the fuss was about.

It looks, to others, like you have a sentence a mile long.
You would have to scroll way to the right to see all you've written.

Maybe if you uninstall OEQuoteFix. Reboot, recheck your settings and
see what happens.

Just a thought.

Please don't get frustrated. Okay? I've been there a zillion times
and it doesn't help. Just keep plugging away at the problem. You'll
fix it.

I can see all the text without having to scroll,
always have been able to do so. I try to do as I'm
told, and I'm certainly learning as I go, so I am
thankful for that.
It IS frustrating, though, one simple setting and I'm, (as I'm sure Mike is), tearing my hair out.
Knitting IS an easier option, right now. ;o)

LOL. If I had taken up knitting, instead of playing with Windows, I

Until you can sort this issue out, I suggest you get used to
entering your own hard return at the appropriate spot, so
that your text is readable.
